Club career

edit

Laranjeira signed a contract renewal with Vasco da Gama in February 2019, a three-year deal.[2] He would have to wait two more years to make his professional debut, which came in a 1–0 loss to Portuguesa-RJ in the Campeonato Carioca.[3]

His contract was again renewed in April 2022, this time for a year and a half.[4] This extension was met with some backlash from Vasco de Gama fans, who felt Laranjeira had not done enough to deserve a new contract, and that the funds could go to renewing other players' contracts instead.[5]
